PREFACE
The curriculum, with varying definitions, is said to be a roadmap or plan of teaching-
learning process that students of an academic program are required to undergo. It
includes objectives and learning outcomes, course outline, scheme of studies, teaching
approaches, and assessment methodologies. Since knowledge in all fields and sectors is
expanding at a faster pace and new disciplines are also emerging; it is imperative that
curricula should be dynamic having regular review and updation.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) was designated as the competent authority
to develop, review and revise curricula beyond Class-XII vide Section 3, Sub-Section 2
(ii), Act of Parliament No. X of 1976 titled “Supervision of Curricula and Textbooks
and Maintenance of Standard of Education”. With the repeal of UGC Act, the same
function was assigned to the Higher Education Commission (HEC) under its Ordinance
of 2002, Section 10, Sub-Section 1 (v). In compliance with the above provisions, the
HEC has been undertaking the development of curricula for new/ emerging fields and
revision of curricula after regular intervals through respective National Curriculum
Revision Committees (NCRCs) until 2018.
As a policy change and expanding higher education base under HEC, the curriculum
review and development task has been shifted to the respective regulators and HEIs.
PEC also having mandate under its Act of Parliament and especially after attaining
Washington Accord full signatory status and IPEA licensing authority, took up the
challenge to review and develop the curricula for engineering programs based on
Outcome-Based Education (OBE) System. PEC has therefore constituted an
Engineering Curriculum Review and Development (ECRDC) and also subject ECRDCs
comprising of eminent engineers and professionals from academia and industry to take
up the task of curricula review and updation. Nevertheless, the basic templates
developed by HEC NCRCs have been followed as guidelines.
Under OBE based curriculum review and development framework, PEC held national
and regional levels stakeholders and industrial consultation workshops engaging HEIs,
industry, technical and consulting organizations. The experts’ feedback and suggestions
were translated into the curriculum review process taking into consideration of the
dynamics of technological advancement, industrial needs and management-cum-soft
skills for engineering graduates.
Curriculum of Transportation Engineering
iv
The Transpiration Engineering (TE) provides the necessary technical skills in
Transportation and engineering design/analysis as well as mathematics and basic
sciences consistent with accreditation standards and national development needs. A
graduate of this program would be able to undertake planning, design, construction,
operations and maintenance of urban and rural transportation infrastructure by applying
his/her knowledge in all stages of inter-disciplinary projects.
This curriculum document would therefore serve as a guideline whereas allowing HEIs
to tame/ change within the framework by introducing courses in support of local/
required industrial demand as well as satisfying 12 GAs (Graduate Attributes) covering
core and elective courses, considered as beauty of OBE system in the international
environment. At the same time, this curriculum framework would fulfill our national,
social and economic needs leading towards attainment of Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs-2030). It would also provide the level of competency specified in Pakistan
Qualification Framework to make it compatible with international educational
standards.

3. OBE-Based Curriculum Development Framework
Outcome Based Education (OBE) is an approach of teaching and learning that focuses
on what students should be able to attain at the end of the educational program. OBE is
a student’s centered system which concerns what the students will know and be able to
do as learning outcomes. The curriculum development under OBE is therefore an
integration of graduate attributes and stakeholders’ feedback in cognizance with
institution’s Vision and Mission.

4. PDCA Approach to Curriculum Design and Development
The process of curriculum design and development constitutes various interconnected
elements with the objective of achieving the intended purpose of the program. The Plan-
Do-Check-Act approach (PDCA) as explained below has been followed in the
curriculum development and review process.
Plan. This stage begins with an analysis of the stakeholders' needs of faculty, current
and past students, employers and society in general. The stakeholders' needs are
translated into human resource terminology i.e. graduate competencies which in turn
translated into educational taxonomy and learning outcomes. Based on the learning
outcomes, curriculum is designed backward to meet PLOs.
Bachelor of Engineering Program (2020)

Do. The plan stage is implemented where curriculum is delivered and learning outcomes
are assessed to gauge the achievement of PLOs.
Check. This stage involves the analysis of assessment results and feedback from
students and faculty. Areas for improvement are identified.
Act. When the learning outcomes are achieved, the curriculum, learning and teaching
strategies and assessment methods are standardized. Best practices are shared and
improvement is made for the next cycle of PDCA.

Final Year Design Project (FYDP)/ Capstone: FYDP aims to challenge
innovative, creative, technical, management and presentation skills of a
graduate to bring together the learning over the degree program.
o A final year design project (FYDP) is the confluence of an engineering
program. Undertaking a final year design project is a compulsory
requirement. It should mainly comprise literature search, individual
analysis, modeling and simulation, AI (Artificial Intelligence) and
computational data analytics, design and putting together various
hardware, software, firmware and Algorithm Engineering / Informatics
related to the program to demonstrate a functional concept including rapid
prototyping, where applicable.
o The FYDP shall include complex engineering problems and design
systems, components or processes integrating core areas and meeting
specific needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety,
cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
o A project of this nature should invariably lead to an integration of the
knowledge and practical skills as mandated in the program outcomes. In
this context, projects of multidisciplinary nature should be encouraged.
o The FYDP should span over two consecutive semesters, i.e. semester 7 &
8, totaling 6-credit hours and should be fully supervised, assessed and
reflected in the transcripts under a prescribed mechanism so as to prepare
for joining industry after graduation.
Faculty: The faculty must be trained for the Outcome-Based Education (OBE)
system. Their familiarity with the program objectives and outcomes,
understanding of the Outcome-Based Assessment (OBA) cycle, enthusiasm
for developing an effective program, and the ability to become an active player
in this regard are the keys to ensure the attainment of program objectives. The
faculty is expected to have the ability to ensure proper implementation of the
program, and to develop processes for evaluation, assessment and CQI. A
formal training program to groom the faculty should be instituted to become
effective instructors in applying pedagogical skills in all aspects of Teaching,
Learning and Assessment covering all domains of Knowledge, Skills and
Attitude.
Personal Grooming: Personal Grooming of young faculty members and
students is very important in order to develop and support their professional
skills. Therefore, it is required that HEIs should conduct/ arrange sessions or
Bachelor of Engineering Program (2020)
19
counseling hours on regular basis to provide guidance for personal grooming.
Personal Grooming is important for positive self-image and increasing the
confidence level of the individuals. It would help in enhancing students’ self-
esteem and would go a long way in developing an attractive personality by
adopting habits like personal hygiene, clothing, appearance, interaction and
expressive skills, etc. The students should be motivated and equipped to be
entrepreneurs in their relevant field.
Presentation and Communication Skills: Special focus should be given to
inculcate communication and presentation skills amongst the graduates
through individual and group presentations, technical writing and discussions,
throughout the program as a regular feature.
This curriculum has been designed to guide and facilitate the universities and
departments to formulate their own programs according to the industrial needs,
emerging trends and recent developments in the field of Transportation Engineering.
The HEIs have flexibility to incorporate changes in the proposed curriculum within
given range of credit hours for engineering and non-engineering domain.
